Market Daily Report: Bursa Malaysia Ends Higher As Bargain Hunters Step In After Sell-off

KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia closed higher today as bargain hunting emerged following the recent sell-off. 

At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 8.76 points or 0.56 per cent to 1,564.42 from yesterday’s close of 1,555.66.

The market bellwether opened 4.90 points higher at 1,560.56, and moved between 1,560.56 and 1,569.61 throughout the day. 

On the broader market, gainers trumped decliners 663 to 372, while 411 counters were unchanged, 885 untraded, and six suspended. 

Turnover narrowed to 3.15 billion units worth RM2.74 billion from 3.81 billion units worth RM3.04 billion yesterday. 

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said that Asian markets also ended in positive territory, buoyed by China’s measures to combat deflation, as well as strong gross domestic product and purchasing managers' index data from the region.

“As China’s annual legislative session began, the country reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a five per cent economic growth in 2025.

“China’s Premier, Li Qiang pledged increased government expenditure and further initiatives to stimulate economic expansion,” he told Bernama.

Back home, he expects China’s stimulus efforts to positively impact regional markets, including Malaysia.

“While market sentiment has shown some improvement, we are cautious and acknowledge varying investor expectations.

“Hence, we expect the benchmark index to remain in consolidation stage and trend within 1,550-1,580, representing key support and resistance levels for the remainder of the week,” he added. 

Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd's head of investment research, Mohd Sedek Jantan, said that despite the FBM KLCI closing higher today, market sentiment remains cautious as investors gauge the potential impact of United States (US) tariffs on China for Malaysian companies.

He said the escalation of trade tensions, particularly the imposition of tariffs by the US has weighed on investor confidence, contributing to recent market volatility.  

“While today’s rebound provides some relief, it remains insufficient to recover the cumulative losses of 33.05 points recorded over the past four consecutive trading sessions.

“Market volatility remains elevated, and with the index still trading below the 1,590 resistance level, sentiment remains fragile,” said Mohd Sedek. 

Additionally, he said although selling pressure may ease, investor sentiment has shifted towards a risk-off mode, with a preference for defensive sectors and safe-haven assets amid lingering uncertainties.

Among the heavyweights, Public Bank added 10 sen to RM4.63, Tenaga Nasional went up 22 sen to RM13.82, and IHH Healthcare perked 2.0 sen to RM7.37, while Maybank eased 2.0 sen to RM10.58, and CIMB lost 20 sen to RM7.80.

As for the actives, NexG edged up half-a-sen to 26 sen and My E.G. Services improved 1.0 sen to 91.0 sen, while G3 Global inched down half-a-sen to 1.0 sen, NationGate eased 4.0 sen at RM1.41, and Velesto Energy was flat at 16.0 sen.

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index strengthened 69.12 points to 11,613.99, the FBMT 100 Index jumped 67.13 points to 11,397.28, the FBM Emas Shariah Index recovered 82.37 points to 11,245.71, the FBM ACE Index climbed 34.91 points to 4,586.28, and the FBM 70 Index picked up 110.01 points to 16,396.05.

Sector-wise, the Financial Services Index put on 44.60 points to 19,302.95 and the Industrial Products and Services Index advanced 2.37 points to 155.46, while the Energy Index slipped 7.34 points to 727.66, and the Plantation Index was 26.46 points lower at 7,509.47.

The Main Market volume declined to 1.68 billion units worth RM2.49 billion from 2.07 billion units worth RM2.77 billion on Tuesday. 

Warrants turnover slid to 1.10 billion units worth RM128.53 million against 1.14 billion units worth RM100.75 million yesterday.

The ACE Market volume weakened to 357.24 million units valued at RM119.96 million versus 594.95 million units worth RM173.54 million previously. 

Consumer products and services counters accounted for 286.49 million shares traded on the Main Market, industrial products and services (298.30 million), construction (136.90 million), technology (284.60 million), SPAC (nil), financial services (160.33 million), property (156.02 million), plantation (23.30 million), REITs (14.23 million), closed/fund (8,000), energy (154.25 million), healthcare (70.37 million), telecommunications and media (28.05 million), transportation and logistics (18.24 million), utilities (53.35 million), and business trusts (nil).

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席,或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道,美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins)接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会(SEC)主席 加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名,这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 : 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规,力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 : 离开SEC后,阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ,一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新,同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 : 马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda):现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 (Heath Tarbert):前商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 (Robert Stebbins):Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议,被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致,即在保障市场完整性的同时,通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么? SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任,这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式,为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。

Capital A 股价下跌,因外汇驱动的第三季度业绩低于预期

Capital A Bhd 在周五早盘交易中股价下跌7%,至1.01令吉,市值降至46亿令吉。这是由于其2024财年第三季度业绩未达到大多数分析师预期,尽管受益于外汇收益提振。 2024财年第三季度亮点: 核心税后及少数股东权益后亏损 (Latmi):  1.434亿令吉,令2024财年前9个月的税后亏损达到1.195亿令吉。 业绩未达  香港联昌投资银行(HLIB)预计的7.549亿令吉的税后净利(Patmi),但与市场普遍预测的4.59亿令吉税后净利一致。 剔除例外项目 (EIs):  共计12亿令吉,主要由于15亿令吉的外汇收益,但被递延税务损失部分抵销。 环比表现: 核心Latmi从上一季度的5,760万令吉恶化至1.434亿令吉,主要受以下因素影响: 季节性收益率疲弱; 成本增加; ADE MRO(维修、保养及翻修)业务因6个新机库的启动成本造成亏损。 未来展望: 预计2024财年第四季度表现将有所改善,得益于: 更高的机队容量; 季节性需求和收益率的改善; 喷气燃料价格下降及美元贬值; 来自新ADE机库的运营贡献。 待决事项: 航空业务出售:  正等待法院批准出售给亚航长途(AirAsia X Bhd, KL:AAX),预计在2025财年第一季度完成。 PN17状态:  出售后仍维持,预计在2025财年上半年完成相关解决方案。 联昌投资银行(HLIB)建议: 维持“买入”评级,目标价为1.68令吉,估值基于航空业务为68亿令吉,非航空业务为21.5亿令吉。 尽管短期面临挑战,Capital A 的长期增长前景依然受到更强的季节性表现和战略举措的支持。
